Solved Question Papers - IIT JEE/PAPER 1

SECTION – I ''Single Correct Choice TypeThis section contains 8 multiple choice questions. Each question has 4 choices (A), (B), (C) and (D), for its answer out of which ONLY ONE is correct.

Note: Questions with (*) mark are from syllabus of class XI.

1. Among the electrolytes Na2SO4, CaCl2, Al2(SO4)3 and NH4Cl, the most effective coagulating agent for Sb2S3 sol is
(A) Na2SO4 (B) CaCl2 (C) Al2(SO4)3 (D) NH4Cl
Sol.: According to Hardy–Schulze rule, the coagulating power of an ion is directly proportional to the magnitude of its charge.
So, For negatively charged Sb2S3 sol, the most effective coagulating agent would be Al2(SO4)3 .
Correct choice: (C)

*2. Given that the abundances of isotopes 54Fe, 56Fe and 57Fe are 5%, 90% and 5%, respectively, the atomic mass of Fe is
(A) 55.85 (B) 55.95 (C) 55.75 (D) 56.06
Sol.: Average atomic mass of an element = ∑AiXi
where Ai and Xi represents the atomic mass and mole fraction of the component in the mixture.
Average atomic mass of Fe =(54×5)+(56×90)+(57×5)/100
= 55.95
Correct choice: (B)

*5. The term that corrects for the attractive forces present in a real gas in the van der Waals equation is
(A) nb (B) an2/V2{\displaystyle an^{2}/V^{2}} (C) -an2/V2{\displaystyle an^{2}/V^{2}} (D) -nb
Sol.: The attractive forces in a real gas decreases its pressure relative to an ideal gas.
Pr = Pi - an2/V2{\displaystyle an^{2}/V^{2}} ; Pi = Pr + an2/V2{\displaystyle an^{2}/V^{2}}
The term that accounts for decrease in pressure due to attractive forces among molecules of a real gas must be added to the
real gas pressure (observed) to get the ideal gas pressure.
Correct choice: (B)

6. Among cellulose, poly(vinyl chloride), nylon and natural rubber, the polymer in which the intermolecular force of attraction is weakest is
(A) Nylon (B) Poly(vinyl chloride) (C) Cellulose (D) Natural Rubber
Sol.: Nylon and cellulose, both have intermolecular hydrogen bonding whereas polyvinyl chloride has dipole-dipole interaction.
Natural rubber will have London forces which are weakest.
Correct choice: (D)

7. The reaction of P4 with X leads selectively to P4O6. The X is
(A) Dry O2 (B) A mixture of O2 and N2
(C) Moist O2 (D) O2 in the presence of aqueous NaOH
Sol.: P4 reacts with O2 in limited supply of air (a mixture of O2 and N2) to give P4O6.
P4 + 3O2limited supply of air→ P4O6.
Correct choice: (B)
